how the hell does it take three years to complete this
Change orders, change orders, and more change orders. Drag your feet and try to skimp by with a skeleton crew, while you bid the job with twice the labor hours than you're using. Work slow as molasses during the mild weather months and fail to take advantage of said weather, and scramble because you didn't take into account that there will be bad weather for weeks at a time in the late spring, summer, and early fall.

So is this "affliction" something that affects only LA contractors? Because I've been in other states and they move MUCH FASTER when it comes to road construction.

I drove through one of these in Biloxi. It was my first time ever going through an intersection like that. It felt wrong driving on the wrong side of the road for a while.

You can’t change order a design/build project.

The contractor is also the designer. He can’t change order his mistakes.
